star wars episode ii attack of the clones | Year: 2002 Classification: Science Fiction Directed: - George Lucas Actors/Actresses: - Ewan McGregor - Natalie Portman FANTASTIC FILM, FANTASTIC DVD This felt more like the heady, swashbuckling Star Wars that i remember from my childhood than Episode 1 did. Like Aliens or Jurassic Park, Lucas wisely takes the first hour to shuffle the exposition and the love story out of the way, and then, BAM! It's practically non-stop action, intrigue and drama from that point on. Just like the original movie in fact. The silent explosions in the asteroid field, the fight between Obi-Wan and Jango, Anakin laying into the Tusken Raiders, the future Emperor using the situation to gain power, Mace and the Jedi gatecrashing the arena ('This party is over!'), the clone troopers arriving and being led by the Jedi, the lightsaber fight, Yoda wielding a lightsaber, the Imperial March playing full blast at the end....... this is Star Wars alright, and a hugely enjoyable, rollicking ride. Some people didn't like it and i'm sorry for them (some other very successful movies have ended up being disliked by many, such as Forrest Gump or Titanic, one suspects that their very success may be a reason for this). They moan about the dialogue (it would be more accurate to say that Lucas's universe has a language all it's own), they moan about the acting (Lucas likes to work in the style of the 1930's, when the acting WAS stiffer and more formal, this is not a style often used these days so the acting may come across as poor to those who are cinematically illiterate), they moan about the love story (let's get this straight, the love story amounts to THREE TWO-MINUTE SCENES!! It's a far smaller part of the movie than many think and there are some charming moments along the way, like when Anakin levitates a piece of fruit and John Williams' beautiful score kicks in). Too bad for them. Good for the rest of us. the best of the star wars movies in this one,yoda fights.this is truly awesome.anakan is growing up.he goes to get his mom from slavery but shes been killed by these nasty little monsters.so he goes genocidal on them all.ben is tring to teach anakan but hes learning way faster than normal and is quite the showoff.the kids will like it.it is the last full length movie of the set.there is an animated short film after this part called clone wars.the last one is due out next summer.just anybody bwill like it.the chick is a young teen ans ends up being anakans girlfriend.i dont know what you heard but this is an all time great.the special effects are cool.this movie is a classic! Big Trouble In Little Greece: Attack Of The Kung Fu Robots If I were a movie director and for some reason I decided to undertake the project of making the most grotesque parody and mockery ever made of the original Star Wars trilogy, I would do the following: First, I would open the movie where the main character of the movie -The Jedi- freefalls some 10,000 stories in a sprawling metropolis, all the while narrowly missing multitudes of careening hovercrafts which literally filled the sky, only to finally land safely inside one of them just in the nick of time, nanoseconds before he was about to slam into the ground. Secondly, I would include the most bland, personality-less, emotionally-uninspiring actors and actresses I could find. Also, I would incorporate pseudo-Greek cultural and archeological elements throughout the movie (which had no relevancy to the sci-fi theme of the movie) so as to confuse the viewer as to what planet...or planets the movie was taking place in...or what universe and epoch(s) for that matter. I'd include several pseudo-romantic scenes where there wasn't an iota of emotion or chemistry between the two love birds and whose forced, stimulated 'romantic scenes' seemed to serve no purpose, either. I would then attempt to completely destroy...annhilate the original Star Wars's sacred notion of the force -as being stimulated and channeled by spirituality and mind over matter- and any drama associated with it as well. MY notion would be that the measure of one's force can be determined by analyzing mitochondrial DNA samples to tally the number of antibodies present in the protoplasm. Next, I would blow away the concept of the original Star Wars's wimpy 2-jedi battle scenes with an epic magnitude-12 mega battle scene which consisted of 10,000 jedis and 100,000 jedi foes engaged in flipping-through the-air somersault kung fu moves that render the likes of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and all '70s special-effects-laden Chinese kung fu flics obsolete. You thought that Luke Skywalker jumping 10 feet out of a carbon freeze container was cool? Could Luke Skywalker stay airborne for 10 seconds all the while throwing barrages of backroundhouse kicks and punches? Screw that punchless Luke Skywalker single-blade lightsaber. Behold, I introduce the double-edged light saber which all jedis are equipped with. FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND OPERATIONAL. Only an elite and intelligent class of human being can be a jedi? Not anymore. Any living, crawling, oozing intelligence-devoid parasite, wingless bat or orc -of any gender-can be a jedi. Finally, I would end the movie with Kung Fu/Force-Master Yoda defeating the Master Evil Jedi with triple and quintuple cartwheel backroundhouse kicks and punches, while airborne, and lightning-fast Tae Kwan Do slaps and curled finger combinations that would put Jackie Chan to shame. The very last scene of the movie would end with the Evil Jedi Master becoming so angry, because of his defeat, that his head grew to the size of a large balloon, t Buy Star Wars Episode Ii Attack Of The Clones at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
